When you come back, I'll already be gone
Feeling a little happy and undone
Well that's alright 'cuz I'm already lost
Just close my eyes and try to adjust
To the hospital lights and the spinning of the room

Up in a tree there are 28 balloons

But then you said
It wasn't just a lie, you said
That one day I would fly, you said
That all wasn't lost, you said
I would make it across...

I remember the rain made your eyes greener
And the way the doctor said you were still in danger
But I don't mind 'cuz somewhere along the way
I found out I was more at peace everyday
But the fact that dogs have to get shot
And somehow people manage to get caught

But then you said
It wasn't just a lie, you said
That one day I would fly, you said
That all wasn't lost, you said
I would make it across...
